he was returning home after working the night

A police officer was seriously injured this Saturday morning following a dramatic accident on the E17 near Zele, in the north of the country.

The man was driving home in his Audi after working at night. While driving in the direction of Antwerp, he collided head-on with a lorry in front of him.

It was the trucker who was able to park his truck on the hard shoulder and alert the emergency services.

The policeman, a young man, is in mortal danger. He was taken to hospital in Ghent. It is likely that he fell asleep at the wheel, but the prosecution has appointed an expert to determine the real circumstances of this tragedy.
